The Landscape Architecture of Lawrence Halprin

Lawrence Halprin changed the profession of landscape architecture. His theories and designs aimed to improve the lives of urban dwellers during an era when many people were fleeing cities. He invented new types of landscapes that were dynamic and ahead of their time: environmentally sensitive communites, parks under and over freeways, recycled industrial sites, and integrated urban space networks.

This 92-page gallery guide, created to accompany the traveling photographic exhibition The Landscape Architecture of Lawrence Halprin, that debuted at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. on November 5, 2016, features 59 newly commissioned and archival images of Halprin's work over his six-decade spanning career. It coincides with the 100th anniversary of his birth.
